Hazy easy drinking India Pale Ale with aromas of fresh pineapple and flavours of bright citrus. Drink this if you want to terminate your thirst.

Can from Asda, High Wycombe. Gold with the faintest of haze, a white head and an obvious fizz. Too much fizz, frankly. Pineapple juice, a touch of papaya and lime and some cardboard. Odd hints of weetabix and coriander seed in the finish, almost like a bit of Belgian witbier has been stirred in. All the flavours are muted and dull - there's no juiciness, vibrancy, assertiveness or bitterness here. I'm not sure what it's trying to achieve here, or how the beer bears any relevance to its name. I'd have thought an aggressive west coast TIPA might be the right brew to commemorate Arnie's 1980s robotic killing machine, not this dull effort. Overall it gets a meh from me. Unlike it's namesake, if I'm offered more of this I won't be back.

Can. Nose is bright orange, mango, boiled sweets. Taste is mango, lots of malt, lemony, the orange is too bright.
Unbalanced, poor.

Slightly cloudy, golden with a white head. Aroma of fruit salad. Similar taste: sweet malt, slight pine-zest bitterness. Medium-bodied. A delicate supermarket beer – I expected something different, more distinctive: smoke, ash, diesel, such a mess. This beer is dangerous; you might fall without even knowing when.

440ml can. Slightly hazed golden with a white head. Aroma of pineapple and grapefruit. Taste of pineapple, grapefruit, sweet malts, light piney resinous bitterness reminiscent of a westie. Medium bodied. Seems like some west coast east coast hybrid that excels at neither of them. Average supermarket fodder - expected more from NR.
